Hello, is Media URL scanner working with standard URLs (not only youtube etc.) , like facebook? For example: www.google.pl posted on timeline as card with thumbnail image, not standard link?

Best,
Peter

if the page has og:tags setup for social network sharing then they will be used. some pages do, others dont. You can tell by looking at the source code for the page you want to share and seeing if they have META tags with og:??????? there.

Yes very sure. Need more information to investigate further. What URL are you trying to add.

www.fandoms.pl has no og:tags

Read more about og:tags here:
http://ogp.me/

Then test the pages you're interested in here in the Facebook Debugger:
https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/

You will be able to see what that page will look like if posted to facebook. The Media URL Scanner uses the same tags.

put them into the Facebook debugger and you will see how it gets formatted. or use ctrl+u to look at the source code and see if they have anything that looks like:
<meta property="og:title" content="The Rock" />
in the header section and you will know.

Hello,
I was check this with MANY other sites, and...only what is working is... www.jamroom.net . All other sites are only visible as link text, not card (as update status) :(

Can You check this again, please? :)
